Good news mate, looks like itās just me with a hernia then !! 
Followed that link on diastasis recti - it still doesnāt sound like a picnic, depending on how extensive it is, though it is better than a full-on hernia.
Did the cutter have any recommendations?
āSo the pain im experience is noting more than strained abdominalsā
Remarkable. Glad to read that.

@ChickenLittle @dagill2 @biker Thanks for the well wishes
Have to agreeā¦at least I dont have to worry about being cut onā¦recovery time and cost.
Better you than me I sayā¦lol
Pretty much my orders areā¦
- take two weeks off and take it easy
- Doc wants me wearing a Abdominal Binder
- No maxing outā¦ which isnt a issue since I dont max out in the first place. But I got a idea his view of heavy is different than my own
- Make sure I wear a belt for abdominal supportā¦ Ok this ones going to take getting use too.
Been doing allot of research on the whole thing to come up with some protocols addressing things moving forward.
On a bright note Im in good company since Ronnie Coleman had the same issue and the gap I have developed isnt as pronounced as his.

If he doesnāt lift, you definitely have different ideas on āheavyā lol
A little late, but congrats. Always good to find out youāre not falling apart as fast as you thought. 
Keep posting, minimally, the dog stuff while resting.
Good news.
Use it well.
He liftsā¦but more for fitness. The thing is the term heavy is so bloody vague and heavily dependent on the individual in question. In reality I do not consider that I am lifting extremely heavy since its mostly sub max and unless I mess around with say Joker sets I am in all reality working at most at 80-85% and in some cases less of a true 1 RM on my heaviest weeks .
Well I plan on running down to the local Farm supply store for bailing wire and duct tape so that I can keep things together if need be down the road.
oh planned on it.
Yeah I am taking it easy the next 2 weeks like the Doctor has commanded. Should allow a few other minor aches subside and recharge the batteries. Taking time to evaluate things I will need to slightly tweak moving forward.

Great belt. Conforms well.
Yeah I have toro lever belt and it just feels too uncomfortable to wear on deads. Spud has a prong power belt Iām looking at that has a rubber core. Which from what I have read is more comfortable and doesnāt have a break in period.
